OVERNIGHT MEGABUS LONDON TO SCOTLAND!: I have travelled on many overnight trains, and have been stranded at an airport overnight, but I've never travelled on an overnight bus before. It's a rite of passage when becoming a full-blown traveller. I travel on the overnight Megabus service from London to Glasgow, with stops only at Manchester Airport and Manchester city centre.
TO LEEDS BY RAIL:Yorkshire scenery by rail with my first impression of Leeds. When I was 2 years old my father moved to Morley, near Leeds, looking for work. Every second weekend he would visit Elland Road, the how of Leeds United and remained a Leeds fan until the day he died. I visit Leeds an pay homage to my father. I also show you how to get free drinks and snacks.
LEEDS UNITED: When I was 2 years old, my father moved the family from Glasgow to Leeds. We lived at Morley and he worked at the Hunslet factory. Every fortnight he would visit Elland Road to see Leeds United and Billy Bremner. Until the day he died, my father was a Leeds fan, so decided to pay homage and visit a home game in Leeds. One slight problem - no ticket.
LEEDS - The River Aire in flood and a change of plan with the train to Preston. So many great plans, and because of overnight rain, and the River Aire through Leeds in flood, there was a change of plan. I travel from Leeds to Preston via Bradford and Halifax, and was surprised at how pretty the region was.
LONDON / ISLE OF DOGS: Isle of Dogs to Barking using DLR (Docklands Light Railway), Underground and c2C
Isle of Dogs to Barking. As a dog lover, I couldn't resist making this journey. Come with me while I travel on the Docklands Light Railway, Underground and c2c back to Liverpool Street station.
THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE: What's quicker - train or plane? The distance from Glasgow to London is 345 miles/555km, and this ultimate challenge will see me race myself from George Square, Glasgow, to Trafalgar Square, London. Team Red will use Virgin West Coast and Team Blue will use British Airways. This video proves what I had assumed for some time.
GLASGOW TO LONDON: Glasgow to London by Virgin West Coast, a quick trip to Heathrow and see 5* The Principal Htl. This vlog was part one of a two day trip from Glasgow to London. I travelled on Virgin West Coast to Euston, Heathrow Express to Terminal 5, and back into the city centre and Trafalgar Square. I give you a room view of The principal Hotel at Russell Square.
LONDON: London day 2 - come and explore some of London attractions including Underground and DLR
This is part two of a quick trip to London from Glasgow. I had to complete some video work and then quickly visited some of the sights of London. See the London Underground, Docklands Light Railway and London Euston station.
HARRY POTTER, JAMES BOND, HOTELS AND STATIONS: I travel by London Underground from Heathrow T5 to Covent Garden, visit the amazing Stanford's travel shop, and then do some serious travel visits. I witness, for the first time, the Stunning Renaissance St Pancras, St Pancras station, Kings Cross station and the Harry Potter platform 9¾. I then check-in at The Waldorf before seeing where James Bond works.
LONDON TO SCOTLAND by LNER FIRST CLASS: This was to be my first Ride on the new LNER Azuma train, from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverley, Scotland. I managed to get a 50% discount on a 1st class ticket, and explain how split ticketing works. The journey was magnificent, although there was carnage in the 2nd class carriages. Something had gone terribly wrong.
